Why do the Blazers need Yang when they have Clingan?

What are your guys thoughts on Jakucionis? He may not get here, but if he does we probably have to take him?

Crap. Disappointing. WCJ is 22 years old already. Don't like it at all, there are a lot of high upside players left.

Hate the Clayton pick. Drafting a worse version of Clarkson is a bad pick when there was real talent left on the board.

The Jazz essentially traded up from 21 to 18 & tossed in second-rounders to get Walter Clayton Jr. I think that’s a great job by the Ainge’s

I am upset by taking Clayton over Jakucionis.

Zack Lowe: Wiz are getting No. 21 from Utah and two second-round picks for No. 18 (Clayton), per sources.

Brett Siegel: Clayton is going to Utah for the 21st pick, the 43rd pick, and two future second-round picks.

I just don't see two first rounds with two seconds making the team. Lucky if one second did. Jazz must have really liked this kid and worried about him moving before that got the chance.

One second left watch them go with a stash hide player for later to come over.

I HATE this pick. I really think this FO just absolutely sucks at drafting. I must be wrong about Ace, he must be the wrong pick. God.

Is it too early to fire Nepo-baby Ainge?
